Hello, First of all, all praise — your website is truly worthwhile. I would like to ask for your opinion. I have written to you before and would now like to ask for an additional opinion. I was at my dentist and she placed a small filling on my left central incisor where the lower edge of the tooth was slightly chipped. I asked her for her opinion about a dental veneer (because I already have a ceramic tooth on the right central incisor). She told me that the tooth — the left central incisor — has fillings on both sides and that no one would place a veneer on such a tooth. Is that true? She then shaped this filling on the tooth somehow, and now after 14 days, despite being careful, the filling has already chipped a little. I can see that this option she made for me will not work, and the end of the tooth has also become thin. I would therefore like to know whether there is any possibility of reinforcing this tooth or some type of crown that would strengthen it and somehow bring it to the same thickness as the other central incisor, which is ceramic. I am also willing to pay extra, as long as it would be reasonably strong and aesthetic. Please give me your opinion. Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam!Making an all-ceramic veneer is a very demanding and also delicate prosthetic procedure. The reason for making veneers is primarily aesthetic rather than functional. If the dental crown is already extensively damaged, it is certainly better to make a conventional crown (which can also be all-ceramic and meet the highest aesthetic standards). A dental veneer is extremely thin and has no fracture resistance of its own. If it is not cemented onto a healthy and solid substrate, damage to the restoration will probably occur very quickly.Have a nice day!

Hello! I am interested in the price of implant treatment because I am looking for this type of service. I am a little unclear about the terminology. Dentists usually state the price of an implant (the titanium fixture), but I found that an artificial tooth also goes with the implant (I think this may be called the implant as well). I would be grateful if you could explain more precisely approximately how much one implant, plus the artificial tooth and of course the procedure itself would cost, if the service is not already included in the price. Specifically, I am interested in two implants for the upper front teeth (the central incisors, if I am not mistaken). At present I have two teeth/artificial crowns, as my dentist calls them, which are placed (bonded, cemented) on metal posts inserted into the natural roots. Since the roots are already old, they will also need to be removed during the implant procedure. As I would not like to spend several months walking around without my front teeth, I would also need temporary “teeth” (a provisional, if I am not mistaken). I am very seriously considering implant treatment because the old crowns are causing me problems. I would be very grateful if you could briefly explain the procedure and the price of the complete service. Kind regards, Matjaž

Dear Sir/Madam!Price for treatment of two teeth with implants:EUR 750 (implant without artificial bone; bone EUR 150 per implant) X 2 + EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 2340. The price includes all procedures: examination, consultation, X-ray, operation, temporary replacement (a small removable temporary denture), suture removal, follow-up visits, fabrication of the crown, fitting of the crown... that are required for you to have a new tooth in your mouth; in other words, the final result. The price is determined before the procedure in a quotation.At the first examination we take X-rays, perform the examination and agree on the procedure. At the next visit we place the implants. Ten days later we remove the sutures. After four to six months the implants are loaded with a dental crown. This most often requires two further visits about one week apart.Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Diagnosis: periodontitis periapicalis of teeth 21, 22 — June 2009. At that time my dentist opened the teeth. A subsequent X-ray allegedly showed a fracture of tooth 21, so following the surgeon's instructions I was scheduled for apicoectomy of tooth 22, after filling it immediately before the procedure. Tooth 21 was su

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! In the case described, the surgeon's assessment is certainly the relevant one, since he was able to inspect the tooth and periodontal tissues directly (with the mucoperiosteal flap elevated), not only clinically and on an X-ray. Based on what you have written, I a

Good day. I was at a periodontist, who found that I am in the early stage of the disease. I would like to know what the price is if I pay privately to have these deposits cleaned, because of course the waiting time is veeeery long.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! You can make an appointment for cleaning. The waiting time is around one month. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Good day, I would like to know whether you also extract wisdom teeth that are growing into the second molars. I am also interested in the waiting time for this procedure because my cheek is already swelling and my front teeth have shifted forward, and I feel slight pressure on one tooth. Thank you.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! We also extract wisdom teeth. It is a misconception that wisdom teeth cause crowding or push teeth toward the incisors. We extract wisdom teeth if they cause local problems in the form of recurrent inflammation of the periodontal tissues, if they cause resorption

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am missing the upper right premolars and first molar, teeth 4, 5 and 6. The canine and second molar are healthy. Since implants are a little too expensive for my student budget, I would like to know the approximate price of a bridge that would fill this gap. Because this is a visible area, I think it would mak

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Implants would be the best solution if anatomical and other conditions do not prevent it. In that case, the canine and second molar can remain intact. It is certainly also possible to make a bridge, but you should be aware that preparing the adjacent teeth is an i

Visitor asks:

Hello, I fell and split my lip and hit my front tooth. The tooth is slightly loose and painful, but nothing is cracked; however, they say there is a high chance that the dental pulp may die. That is what I am most afraid of. Is there any preventive measure that could prevent this? How long would it take for the tooth t

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! If the tooth is mobile, it is wise to stabilize it to the neighboring teeth with a temporary splint. The likelihood of the tooth becoming non-vital depends on many factors, especially the amount of displacement of the tooth in the alveolus at the time of impact. I

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! A little over a month ago my son paid EUR 65 for tartar removal. Now the dentist says that before she puts a crown on his front tooth (it is black), she has to remove the tartar again, which will cost an additional EUR 50. I would like to know whether, despite regular tooth brushing, enough tartar can a
